"It's funny, when the young master's personal servant came to deliver the message, Granny Zhang's face was all sorts of colors, it was quite a sight."

"She got what she deserved for bullying the Fang family. Now she'll get what's coming to her."

"The young mistress is so beloved by the young master. Anyone who dares to bully the young mistress is simply courting death."

"It can't be that bad, at least Granny Zhang has a daughter who's in charge."

"Ha, what's so great about her daughter? When the young master's servant came to deliver the message, her daughter was struggling and asking if the servant had delivered the wrong message. The servant directly said, 'Who do you think you are! How dare you question the young master and the young mistress!' Her daughter didn't dare to utter a word."

"She may be a mid-level manager, but what is she compared to the Crown Prince!"

"It's absolutely hilarious. Later on, she even went out of her way to fawn over the young master's servant. Her obsequious manner was just awful."

"It's good that she knows what's good for her. If she dared to say another word, she might lose her job."

"Serves her right, she bullies people every day."

"The Fang family has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. After a lifetime of being lowly servants, the couple's treatment has now been upgraded to second-class status."

The servants clapped and cheered, especially those who had been bullied by the Zhang family in the past; they were overjoyed.

After chatting about the Fang family, the servants started talking about Jiang Shuwan.

“People are really different. Look at our young master, so many young ladies in the capital want to marry him.”

"The young master has taken a fancy to the young mistress."

"The young master is so fond of her that he even sends a servant to fetch the gatekeeper. When men dote on someone, they say, 'Okay, okay, whatever you want,' but the young master says, 'Okay, okay, whatever you want, you sit down, I'll get it done for you.'"

"The young master is so good to his young mistress, he even takes care of things himself, like a gatekeeper."

"What's so surprising? I heard from the servants in the front yard that the young master went straight to the young mistress's courtyard after school. It really shocked everyone."

"Everyone in the manor knows that the young master respects the old lady the most. Every time he finishes his studies at the Imperial Academy, he goes to the old lady's room first."

"Today they actually went directly to the young mistress's room and brought in a lot of silk, all of which were the finest Shu brocade and Yun brocade."

"Incredible, incredible."

"The young master really spoils his young mistress too much."

The exclamations of the crowd soon reached Jiang Shuwan's ears.

Jiang Shuwan laughed and rolled around on the bed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"They're really good at making connections..."

Especially the servant's words: "Alright, alright, whatever you want is fine with you. You sit down, I'll get it done for you."

It made her laugh so hard she almost died.

She clearly asked the young minister for help because she didn't have a steward yet and it was inconvenient for her to interfere in the personnel arrangements within the household.

In this era, men mostly did not get involved in domestic affairs.

The moment the powerful minister took action, it turned into a blatant show of favoritism towards her.

If she hadn't fabricated the rumor that the Crown Prince was deeply in love with her, she would have believed that the young minister was truly devoted to her.

"Miss, you're amazing! You fooled so many people with just one trick of 'creating something out of nothing'," Qingxing said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan got out of bed again and told Qingxing to find a few more trustworthy people to continue spreading rumors.

We'll get everything: 'The prince loves it', 'The old lady loves it'.

Having created something from nothing, she now needs to "borrow the east wind" (i.e., take advantage of the opportunity).

The eighth skill for workplace survival.

If we don't have 'Dongfeng' (East Wind), we'll build our own.

They created the "East Wind" and used it to their advantage to amplify their influence.

"Yes, Miss, I will do it right away."

Qingxing hurriedly went out to find someone, and soon the whole mansion was talking about how much the young master loved it and how much the old lady loved it.

Buddhist hall.

Holding prayer beads, Madam Wen knelt on the prayer mat, chanting sutras while listening to the head matron's report.

"Madam, judging from the way the young master is acting, he seems to really like you, young mistress..."

As the head maid spoke, she secretly glanced at Madam Wen's expression.

"Oh!"

“I know my son best. He’s cold-hearted and ruthless. He doesn’t even respect his own parents. So what is Jiang Shi?”

“The two did not consummate their marriage on their wedding night, and I knew he did not love Jiang at all.”

"What nonsense about the prince's love for it? It's hilarious."

"It's just a rumor from the Jiang family."

"Didn't she previously spread rumors that the old lady also loved her?"

"It's good that it's fake, it's good that it's fake." The head maid breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she felt a little scared when she heard the rumors that the young master loved it and the old lady loved it.

"Madam, shall we clarify the rumors?"

"Clarify? What's wrong with your brain?" Madam Wen gave the head maid a disdainful look.

"The rumors circulating in the manor lately are that Madam Jiang is favored by the young master and the old lady. This just proves that our manor is harmonious, stable, and full of love and affection. If you dare to clarify this, are you hoping for disharmony and instability in the family?"

“If you dare to utter a single word, the old lady will immediately send you to the estate,” Madam Wen sneered.

The head maid was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat.

She really hadn't thought of that; she was only thinking about dealing with the young mistress.

"Madam, the young mistress is so cunning. She makes it so that even though we know she's spreading rumors, we can't do anything about it."

"Hmph, such a small and insignificant family, all they can do is use these tricks." Madam Wen scoffed, then paused and asked, "She really didn't inquire about the clan banquet between our two families?"

"No, madam."

“I have been keeping an eye on the young mistress’s courtyard. Apart from the fourth young lady, who occasionally picks on the young mistress, all the people entering and leaving the young mistress’s courtyard are her dowry maids.”

"Don't worry, Madam. Our family banquet is far beyond what a fifth-rank official's daughter can handle."

"Let alone the fact that she can't find someone to teach her manners in a short time, even if she did, what could she learn in a mere ten days?"

Wen nodded, "That's true."

Seeing that she was happy, the head maid continued her report.

"Madam, the old lady instructed me to prepare for the clan banquet. I have put in all my effort. Whether it is the room decoration, the dishes, or the utensils, everything is the best. I guarantee that when the young mistress sees it, she will be so terrified that she will not be able to speak clearly."

"The invited relatives are all prominent ladies. In addition to the Earl's wife and the young mistress of the Earl's family, I also invited ten other ladies from the clan and their daughters."

"When these clan ladies heard that they could bring their daughters to participate, they are now making their young ladies at home to review the rules and etiquette they learned before. They all want to get a compliment from the old lady. If the old lady has face, and gets a compliment from her, the young ladies will have face when they look for a husband in the future."

"The young ladies of the clan have all grown up learning manners since elementary school, and now they are working so hard. When we compare them, won't it make the young mistress seem stupid?"

"Good!" Wen excitedly snapped the prayer beads in her hand and said fiercely.

“After the clan banquet, I will make Jiang kneel on the ground and beg me.”

“A mere young girl, who just entered the house, caused me to be confined to my quarters and also caused the death of a head maid.”

"I'm going to make her pay."
